Reviews for "Quiet"

Some parts of this are good. I'm not sure, but I think NG may have gotten past stick movies. This would definitely have been front paged in the early 2000s, but I'm not sure about now. Especially since the stick people don't even look that good (although there's definitely a lot more detail than some of those old movies, so yeah). However it IS well animated, and you make good use of colors to set up a scene.

Highlights for me are when the girl pulls him along in the first scene, the zoom out of the city, the moment where she "turns", as it were, and the effect when he shoots the robot in the head at the end. But in my opinion the fight scene proceeding that kinda ruins the tone. It was this fairly dramatic, heavy story prior, but then it devolves into a generic stick action sequence. Not only that, but the fact that it stays in one shot the whole time kills any excitement there could have been. There's no focus or emphasis on any of the fighting, leaving the music to just kinda hover in the background awkwardly and the action itself bland.

Whatever you do, don't get discouraged. You have some serious potential, as this movie very clearly demonstrates.

Thank you for this review! I regret making this a stick animation as i wanted to get this story across as best i could but sadly ended up going with it. I agree with you that the fight scene ruined the tone a bit, i partly added it just to fill up time in the song where i couldnt think what else to add, in hindsight I think I should have cut the song down but i've animated it now so :D its staying in there.

Well, this is the first time I've reviewed something that was under judgement in this new format. I think it's great because this is one of the best things I've reviewed since the site changed. I think the best part of this is when the guy shoots the enemy and the enemy just blows everywhere with rainbow blood or whatever that is. It's nice to have such great music. While it didn't have lyrics, it didn't need them, because it delivered a powerful message.

I was really feeling sorry for this guy and I thought he had a good relationship with that woman. What was also cool was how well you were able to keep up the great atmosphere. I think the hero resembles some video game ninja character whose name I can't remember. It really created a notion of sadness. I am glad to be introduced to your stuff.

I give a 4.5 because the story has excellent potential. it being your first animation the quality is understood. the phsyics are excellent and i fucking like it. PS None of this is a joke. i think this animation has room for you to expand on and develop further.
